Empress Genmei
Legendary Empress of Japan
(a.k.a. 元明天皇)
Summary
Empress of Japan circa the 6th century, and one of its most famous rulers. She, like many powerful people with access to magic, was given an immortal body; although in her case the magician in question took some liberties and involved their own personal tastes. After a few centuries of rule, she became tired of the responsibility, and sealed herself in a sanctum beneath Wakigami Castle to await another ruler who would need her guidance. This individual eventually came in the form of Hashinara Yoshitakatomo, one of Genmei's distant descendants, and released her from her self-imposed prison. Though she still retains an imperious manner, Genmei does not involve herself in the ruling of the Hashinara Clan unless asked. This seems to be a ubiquitous trait among ancient lords and ladies who believe their own time has passed. She does, however, demand the utmost respect and luxury that a person of her impressive standing deserves. The majority of the denizens at Wakigami Castle fear and respect her in equal measure, a perfect situation as far as Genmei is concerned.Unique Abilities
Imperial Appointment: Empress Genmei may, at the beginning of any combat, before initiative is rolled, designate two of her allies as her Right and Left Hands. The ally designated as her Right Hand receives incredible physical power. Their Strength is increased by 5 up to a maximum of 19, and they receive a base of 320 in the Feats of Strength secondary ability. The ally designated as her Left Hand receives incredible mental acuity. Their Intelligence is increased by 5 for the purposes of determining the maximum level of spells (or Power, if they have Natural Power), and they receive a base of 320 in their Tactics special ability. Both allies are considered as having Zen. This ability lasts until the end of the combat. Genmei may change which ally is designated for each position, but requires an active action to do so.Social
